Christopher Nolan’s epic adaptation, "The Odyssey," is officially setting sail for home viewers, with digital and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release dates confirmed for November 17. This highly anticipated announcement comes as the film continues its remarkable run in theaters, breaking multiple box office records since its theatrical debut on July 17.
Fans will soon be able to rent or purchase the blockbuster from the comfort of their homes. The decision to release the film on digital platforms and physical media four months after its cinematic premiere reflects a similar strategy Nolan and Universal employed with "Oppenheimer," which also enjoyed a substantially longer exclusive theatrical window compared to most major studio releases. This approach allows the film to maximize its theatrical earnings before transitioning to home entertainment.
"The Odyssey" has been a monumental success, raking in an astounding $1.35 billion worldwide. This makes it not only Nolan’s highest-grossing movie but also, as of this week, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, surpassing "Deadpool & Wolverine." Domestically, the film has grossed over $500 million, contributing significantly to its global triumph.
IMAX has played a crucial role in the film’s success, contributing a massive $257 million in ticket sales. "The Odyssey" now stands as IMAX’s highest-grossing release ever, underscoring the film’s visual spectacle and the immersive experience it offers on the big screen.
The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the legendary Greek king on his arduous journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. A star-studded ensemble cast supports Damon, including Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Critics have lauded Nolan's "muscular, temporally complex interpretation," with Variety’s Guy Lodge noting its "sensually" impactful experience.
